Trump told the NBC interviewer that he doesn't "consider" the war he's embroiled this country in on behalf of the state of Israel "to be a war," but "if you want to define it as such, I guess you can." The boggled interviewer followed up with, "how do you define it"? To which Trump replied: "I don't define it at all . . . I don't think about it . . . I just do what I have to do."

Italics added.

He doesn't think about it.

Just as he doesn't think much about anything, apparently. Well, at least insofar as it affects us. He just does what he has to do . .  in order to be in congruence with the requirements of his Israeli overlords, toward whom he is strangely simpatico to a degree that can be fairly characterized as either worshipful or servile – perhaps because of things in the Epstein Files (to use the popular term) that compromise not just him but the entire termite-riddled so-called ruling class of both parties.

It is true – as Trump said – that NBC and the rest of the Fake News apparat is corrupt but that does not change the corruption of Trump. He audaciously claimed he never promised no war, a lie so stupendous it could be used as an example of the Big Lie most everyone has heard about. The saying is attributed to Joseph Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda in National Socialist Germany ("Nazi" is a term the National Socialists never used themselves but which is reflexively used by the American socialists and their brethren communists to sort-of paper over the reality that the "Nazis" were in fact socialists; a kind of militarized socialism but nonetheless socialists.)

When called out on this, his usually orange visage turned beet red. He eventually stormed out of the interview, dropping his microphone on the floor and audibly crushing it – perhaps inadvertently – with his enormous bulk.

Some finger-waggers didn't like this, describing Trump's Randy Watson Moment as unbefitting. In the past, many of Trump's supporters would have clapped – and some still did.

Trump has played on the corruption of the Fake News – which everyone who is intellectually honest knows to be a thing – to efface his own corruption. He portrays himself as the righteous crusader against the exasperating corruption of the "media, which is effronterous in its peddling of Fake News. But a small  truth can be used to spread a bigger lie. An excellent example of this being the use of the truth that people do catch colds and even a cold can be dangerous when you're already old and frail to peddle the lie that "COVID" was a serious threat to everyone.
